MVP-5200i Modero® ViewPoint® Touch Panel with Intercom, 5.2 and 5”
Complex Script Support
In many cases, a user needs a touch panel user interface that utilizes a font applicable to the area for which its
use is intended, and to accomplish this without needing to resort to images of properly formed text. This
includes proper rendering of right-to-left languages such as, but not limited to, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and
Devangari (FIG. 85). Both the MVP-5200i and TPDesign4 (v3.1 or higher) support complex script languages,
to the extent that the True Type font currently selected for that state supports the language in question.
TPDesign4 allows the user to type the desired text into a project, view it in G4Panel Preview, and download it
to the panel.
In some cases, the user may need correct rendering of mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text, and may
display both of these together in the same page (FIG. 86). Text edit boxes only operate left-to-right.
Some languages, notably Hindi and Tamil, are not supported by coded pages. These languages will display
“???” for characters entered via the language bar, even if the selected font supports the language. Text in these
languages can still be pasted via the clipboard or via the Alt-<Scan Code> method.

Most languages can be entered into the state property field in TPDesign4 via the
Windows language bar.
